LAS VEGAS (AP) – An autopsy found that the man who authorities say detonated two bombs that destroyed a home and a vehicle in a small Nevada town killed himself before the explosions.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg (FYOU’-den-berg) tells The Associated Press on Sunday that Glenn Franklin Jones shot himself in the head. His death was ruled a suicide.

Jones blew himself up in the Wednesday night blasts, but no one else was seriously injured.

The family of five who lived in the house are OK.

Fudenberg says Jones was identified by fingerprints.
